Kelly LinkKelly Link (born 1969) is an American editor and author of short

magic realism: a combination of science fiction, fantasy, horror,
mystery, and realism. Among other honors, she has won a Hugo award,

Fictitious Force
A fictitious force (also called a pseudo force,[1] d'Alembert
force,[2][3] or inertial force[4][5]) is an apparent force that acts
on all masses whose motion is described using a non-inertial frame of
reference, such as a rotating reference frame. Examples are the forces
that act on passengers in an accelerating or braking automobile, and
the force that pushes objects toward the rim of a centrifuge.
The fictitious force F is due to an object's inertia when the
reference frame does not move inertially, and thus begins to
accelerate relative to the free object. The fictitious force thus does
not arise from any physical interaction between two objects (that is,
it is not a "contact force"), but rather from the acceleration a of
the non-inertial reference frame itself, which from the viewpoint of
the frame now appears to be an acceleration of the object instead,
requiring a "force" to make this happen

Aeon
The word aeon /ˈiːɒn/, also spelled eon (in American English) and
æon, originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation"
or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in
the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity". It is a
LatinLatin transliteration from the koine Greek word ὁ αἰών (ho
aion), from the archaic αἰϝών (aiwon). In
HomerHomer it typically
refers to life or lifespan. Its latest meaning is more or less similar
to the
SanskritSanskrit word kalpa and Hebrew word olam. A cognate
LatinLatin word
aevum or aeuum (cf. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as
longevity and mediaeval.[1]
Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a
billion years (especially in geology, cosmology or astronomy), its
more common usage is for any long, indefinite, period
